Springtime In Alaska |
I mushed from Port Barren through a blizzard of snow |
Been out prospecting for two years or so |
Pulled into Fairbanks the city was a boon |
So I took a little stroll to the Red Dog Saloon |
As I walked in the door the music was clear |
The prettiest voice I had heard in two years |
The song she was singin' made a man’s blood run cold |
When it’s springtime in Alaska it’s forty below |
(When it’s springtime in Alaska it’s forty below) |
It was red headed Luie who was singin' so sweet |
I reached down and took the snowpacks off my feet |
I reached toward the gal who was singin' the tune |
We did the Escimo hop all around the saloon |
Where the cariboo crawl and the grizzly bear hug |
We did our dance on a Kodiac rug |
The song she kept singing made a man’s blood run cold |
When it’s springtime in Alaska it’s forty below |
(When it’s springtime in Alaska it’s forty below) |
I was as innocent as I could be |
I didn’t know Luie was big Ed’s wife to be |
He took out his knife and he gave it a throw |
When it’s springtime in Alaska I’ll be six feet below |
(When it’s springtime in Alaska he’ll be six feet below |
When it’s springtime in Alaska he’ll be six feet below) |
